Back in 2000 Pacific Ferries rivalled Stagecoach owned Fullers Ferries for the traffic between Auckland and Waiheke Island - about a half hour boat ride. Waiting at the quayside to greet the ferries are Stagecoach owned Waiheke Bus Company Bedfords (behind) and this red liveried Mercedes operated by Jaguar Tours for Pacific Ferries.

Whilst Waiheke Bus Company provides a fairly comprehensive bus service, Jaguar's buses operate solely to connect with the ferries, but all runs are operated as local bus services. Here a Mercedes passes through Oneroa on route from the ferry.

Here a near empty Mercedes finds its way to Sandy Bay through the lush countryside.

Mercedes alternated with various Waiheke Bus Company vehicles back at the ferry terminus.

The ever ubiquitous Toyota Coaster minibus represents Jaguar Tours coach fleet. The small vehicle is seen at the quayside bound for Oneroa.
